Inner City Waters Restored

2 Kings 2:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 2 in context

Scripture Focus

19And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
2 Kings 2:19

Biblical Context

Outwardly the city seems pleasant, but the water is foul and the ground barren.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the city as a symbol of your inner state. The outward pleasantness corresponds to habits that dress appearances, while the water that nourishes life is foul because your belief has forgotten its Source. The barren ground speaks of untapped potential awaiting rooting in imagination. Elisha in scripture is the I AM within you—an awake awareness that refuses to accept conditions as final. Your task is not to argue with conditions but to revise them by another act of faith: assume the end of health, abundance, and sufficiency now. When you hold that assumption with feeling, the inner water clears and the soil yields, and the city you live in comes to reflect the interior life you have envisioned. Reality, in Neville’s terms, follows your inner state rather than your outer sight, so the pleasant surface will become the sign and the substance of your renewed conviction.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, assume the water is clear and the soil fertile now, and feel that life-flow fully real in your body.
